Over the River and Through the Woods...

My friend Jon has requested that this post be about his cabin (or as he likes to call it the Cabin of Great Prizes). So I feel it my responsibility to indulge him as it was "one of the most influential moments of [my] life". Plus it really was a fun trip and a great precursor to Christmas.
Jon thought it would be great to stay at his newly finished family cabin down Fairview way with some of us from the ward. Finals were over and Christmas break had begun, so naturally we had plenty of time on our hands. So, we were off, to the "Cabin Trip of Great Prizes" (we are yet to see these great prizes).
After only three stops in Logan and about three miscommunications from Logan to Spanish Fork, we all made it to the cabin in one piece. This is amazing because there were five of us and gear (which included sleeping bags, other bags, and food) crammed into Tara's Subaru Impreza which she forgot to clean out. It was okay though because we rocked out to the Killer Mix that Darby made.
So we park the cars and unload the gear and we finally make it to the cabin. It was a good 200 hundred or more yards to actually get there from the road. Jon being the host and gentleman that he is, "carried like everyone's bags" (or so he says).


The highlight of the trip I would say was the snowshoe hike we all took. It was my first time snowshoeing and I must say that I am a fan. Again, Jon was the host and gentleman and "broke trail for pretty much the whole snowshoe expedition." That's a direct quote too. I stayed in the back of the trail and reaped the benefits of everyone else's trail blazing. There was no way in heck I was going to break trail; so the duty was split among others in the group, but I think Jon, Tara and two other people (I don't remember their names) were the real trail blazers. The best part of being at the back of the line is watching everyone else fall. It was a pretty sweet view. The best part of this day was the massage circle that we formed that night. Everyone got a back rub and it was heavenly.


So, after hours of card games and laughter it was time to come home. No miscommunications this time. So Thank you Jon for a wonderful time and for some wonderful memories!
